Carl, actually, the BL-2 is an EMD product; BL meaning branchline road diesel. It basically is an F unit with a modified car body allowing a view to the rear for switching. It was not too popular, BAR had a number of them and, along with their F3s, kept them running into the 1970s and 80s.

Nice!, the scenery guy doing our's may need to check out this, what material did you use within the quarry? (Hydrocal, scultamold or carved painted foam)
And back to George's request for a coal mine.
Hudson Coal Mine..
Show me this same coal mine (Walther's kit) on your layout.
bogp40, Dana Evert who did the work stated by photographing the Dragon Prodcuts limestone quarry in Thomaston, ME; about 40 miles from us. Using the photos, he made a base from styrofoam insulation board, and covered it with hydrocal which he applied with a putty knife and an artists spatula, then carved and colored it with various washes.

Thanx for the kind words Garry!
Still looking for an OTR truck...
Here you go, one over the road truck. Let's see another over the road truck.
A Dragon Products dry bulk cememt truck. The trailer started as a Road Champs bottom dump trailer which I modified with some parts and a lot of body putty.
More over the road trucks please
G PaineMore over the road trucks please
Here is a dry bulk cement trailer I scratchbuilt 2 years ago, hooked up to an Athearn Mack model 'R' tractor. This is the kind of cement-hauling trailers I see all over the State of Maryland. There are a few cylinder-shaped ones here too, but most of them are of the triple-hopper design.
I didn't have a scenicked layout at the time I shot this pic so this was the best I could offer...
Show me another over-the-road truck
CSX_road_slug -wow, great work
Here are a couple over the road trucks:
The tractors and trailers are store bought. The sideboards and tarp on the truck in the foreground are hand made. The load is finely ground corn meal held in place with white glue. The license plates and signs were made with my home computer. The figures are Woodland Scenics.
How about another over the road truck?
GP9 Man .... Funny!
Here is my Great Northern tractor/trailer
And here is Fiasco Transport tractor/trailer in trouble.

Wish I could show you something, but I'm just installing isolation tracks & soldering the yard track today. Being 4/20, I told friends & family I was taking the day off & getting wired.
I don't think I fooled anyone, though...
That's very funny bigpianoguy. I had a chocolate Easter bunny but.........
Since it has been 24 hours, here is a completely ficticious passenger car with a complete ficticious history
"In the late 1950's the Pennsylvania Railroad purchased a brand new type of car for it's crack train the Mon Valley rambler. This train had a baggage car, two heavyweight coaches, a combine/snack car(in the baggage area). The PRR felt like the higher class passengers deserved a car that would let them see the Mon Valley through a rear window. Thus the "Uniontown" was purchased. The Mon Valley Rambler ran until 1967, and the Theater car was stored on a siding at Pittsburgh's PRR station, until Penn Central auctioned it off, and it was purchased by the Austinville and Dynamite city Railroad owner-James Thaddius.
SShow me another complete work of fantasy,and the fictional history behind it.

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway. As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).
